Legal Action for Indian Wives Against Overseas Husbands

If you are an Indian resident with an overseas Indian husband and wish to take legal action, it is important to know the correct procedure and available resources. The Ministry of External Affairs and other legal bodies in India can assist you, but they require a clear and specific complaint.

Taking Legal Action from Within India

When you want the Ministry to take legal action against your husband, you are requested to state specific issues in your complaint. Simply stating that he is overseas is not enough. You must provide a clear and detailed account of the issues you are facing.

Once your complaint is specific, you can take the following steps:

1. Notify Local Police: You can notify the police authorities in the local area where you live or where the matrimonial home is located. The police can investigate the matter and assist in taking appropriate action within their jurisdiction.
2. Approach the National Commission for Women (NCW): You can contact the National Commission for Women (NCW) for legal assistance and guidance. The NCW works to protect and promote the interests of women and can provide valuable support and resources for your case.

Steps You Can Take

Notify Local Police

You should report the matter to the police authorities in the area where:

• You currently reside
• Your matrimonial home is located

This helps initiate a legal record and may lead to further investigation or action.

 Approach the National Commission for Women (NCW)

The NCW provides support and legal guidance to women facing domestic or marital issues. You can:

• File a complaint online or in person
• Request help in contacting your overseas husband
• Seek assistance in coordinating with Indian and foreign authorities
